missed. I truly enjoyed watching the debut of Moyers & Company, and wish you, and your staff, all the best. However, for many years, I've been concerned (read: angered) that reasonable assertions challenging the deliberate nature of American inequality are falling largely on deaf ears, and deaf everything else. Just watch ANY of the RepubTeaCon candidates clamoring to be CEO of this nation speak and you'll have ample proof of that. Their "I got mine!" smugness and aloof arrogance sickens me to the core. The expressions on some of those Senator's faces during the opening segment of your show said it all: If you don't have, you don't deserve; now, please go away. I dare say that, short of spontaneously bursting into flame, Amanda Greubel's presence and testimony had ZERO chance of engendering a sympathetic reaction. The Ivory Tower set, fat on pharaonic wealth, and protected by ill-gotten political influence, will stop at nothing to keep their riches and power... they'll tenaciously thwart all attempts to reconcile this historic imbalance. Believe that. Thank you for caring enough to bring attention to this pressing issue. I hope there's still time to make a substantive difference there before another entire generation is lost to the self-aggrandizing machinations and blind whimsy of those in the 1%. You'll forgive me, though, if I don't hold my breath.
